Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mevo Studio at 4.7 against Larix Broadcaster's 3.6. Mevo Studio also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 131) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Larix Broadcaster's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 38%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Larix Broadcaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Mevo Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $27.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mevo Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mevo Studio has 2.5K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Larix Broadcaster's written reviews are positive against 38% of Mevo Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Larix Broadcaster ships an update every 3 weeks, Mevo Studio every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
